So here you go (planning pictures) - Click to see full size and read text:
Original case (not mine):
Sexified (couldn't resist)

Happy modding!

Edit: This is actually update #11 on CMG, but I figured that it would be better for you all to see this ahead of time, because they didn't, and they got lost trying to figure out what is going on.

Edit #2: This isn't on CMG anymore (cuz they suck), and I these plans have changed significatly enough to not be relevant. Anyone who has read the planning pictures, lucky you, you know the most important mod that's not mentioned anywhere else in the thread. Pics gone.

Update #4

Window one

One sexy window update.

You start by planning

Now I know that the Nemesis and Nemesis Elite both come with pre-cut windows standard, but that won't do at all. How _____ (adjective) can a square be?
Working with this, I had planned to order another side panel, with no window. It came to some $25 or so. Yeah right. After lengthy observation, I noticed that the motherboard side panel is the same panel as the windowed, without an ugly hole in it, but turned upside down.
Going off on a limb I switched them around and viola! They fit perfectly. I soon added to my written plans, intentions for the window reversed.

My uncut side panel taped off (with compass - not for this window )

My dedicated notebook

And cut
(Tape peeled off to examine damage to surrounding area)

The cut-out, code named Jared, and the testee of many painted metal experiments.
Going to school. They didn't like him there, he's rough around the edges, if you know what I mean.

The tools

Unplugged like Nirvana.

Same with the sound equipment.

Almost forgot: The god behind the window

All of this was done in my basement, unfinished at the time, which I now sleep in.
Updated pics of Jared upon request.
